[1980’s Snapshot Album of a Teenage Cheerleader in Alabama]

$150.00

A striking vernacular snapshot album compiled by a teenage cheerleader in Albertville, Alabama in the late-1980’s. Views include local and national events, including a 1988 National Cheerleaders Association summer camp and a 1989 regional competition in Dallas, Texas. 

Two event programs and a copy of a school newspaper provide a valuable component of text to this nostalgic and quintessentially 1980's primary glimpse into the hyper-feminine world of cheerleading in the American South.

[Photo Albums] : [Cheerleading]  ; [Albertville, Alabama]: [ca. 1988-1989] Commercial sticky-page photo album. Approximately 10 3/4" x 11 1/2." Smooth faux-snakeskin printed vinyl over boards with gilt bordering to front. Metal snap-ring binder inside with 17 adhesive card leaves with plastic overlays holding 121 color snapshot photographs (most 3 1/2" x 4 1/2", a few cut down smaller). 20 additional loose snapshots, 2 color enlargements and a few event programs laid-in loose. Well preserved. Very good or better throughout.
